A raw organic feel, minimalistic production, poetic lyrics and heartfelt vocal storytelling is what this album is about.Vintage MU is a retrospective collection of vintage analog recordings that have been digitally remastered. It might beconsidered a debut album, but it is more of a prequel to Mu’s upcoming album of 12 new original songs.Vintage MU includes four original songs by Mu, two original interpretations of cover songs: J.D. Souther’s"Prisonerin Disguise" and Lennon and McCartney’s"You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away", and"I Wonder" an original art piececo-written with long-time friend and bassist Robert Trujillo (way before he joined Metallica – this is some truly vintageRobert Trujillo on bass!)."I Wonder" is an artistic composition for a dramatic film montage about two lovers who areunexpectedly torn apart after one of them is kidnapped. As time passes their faith and hope of being reunited fades.Vintage Mu is the first album released by Buddha Brain Records. Mu felt that the organic feel and soul of the music wasmore important than trying to make the album sound too slick or overly produced. She is a firm believer that"less is more"-especially when it comes to art. Insightful and honest, Mu’s music resonates on the collective human level where loveand hope, suffering and pain, and everything in between resides.Vintage Mu is available for mp3 downloads from CD Baby and other music distributors worldwide. The CD is available directly from mu at www.martiupson.com/music.html using PayPal and CD Baby. Stay tuned for Mu's new 3 song EP, and the next album of all new original songs due out in early 2012.
